Burke Lake Golf Center

Had never played an all Par 3 course before.

My initial skepticism vanished when I realized how great this is to tighten up your iron and short game.

Had a great time!

Whole course (fairways & greens) were being aerated right up to my 2:50 tee time. Greens were heavily sanded and not puttable. Fairways and greens’ collars were spotty (extensive bare spots) and littered with hard, dry aeration plugs. What a mess! I made the tee time at Burke Lake so my wife could walk along with me. She bailed. I should have also.

The fairway is unkempt with bold spots everywhere. The greens are slow and missing grass at spots. The pace of play so slow, I quit after nine holes even though I paid for 18 holes. The layout is confusing with tees and next greens next to each other. I will not be returning to play this course.

The inside staff was nice and helpful. Outside....eh. Felt a bit 1950-ish. Golfers were playing down on us. The tee time was 0810, I was told 10 min per hole. By 0905 at hole 6 we were told we had a complaint. I mean 10 minutes × 5 completed holes = 50 min so how were we (the black ppl) holding them (white ppl) up is beyond me. Especially when she insisted I wait to start with a group instead of instructing me where to go and have them catch up to where I was. I'll be back because I love helping others through their biases but won't recommend it.
